Solana Sees 1.88M Unique Active Addresses, Highest Level in 13 Months
Network Activity
Solana's network just had its busiest stretch in over a year. Unique active addresses on the blockchain reached 1.88 million as of October 9, 2026, the highest reading in 13 months, according to on-chain data from SolanaFloor and the Blockworks analytics dashboard.The Numbers Behind the Surge
Santiment reported that Solana's network growth has accelerated by 124% since early September 2026. That growth works out to approximately 1.71 million new wallets created each day.Builders and Stablecoins
The network logged over 8,400 monthly active programs in September 2026, a new record. Programs are Solana's version of smart contracts: the software that runs apps, exchanges, games and payment tools on the chain.Stablecoin Growth
Daily active stablecoin addresses on Solana hit 888,000 in September, a 269% increase from the same month a year earlier. Total stablecoin supply on the network has also climbed past $15 billion, spread across more than 14 million addresses.ETF Flows
US spot SOL ETFs recorded net outflows of more than $22 million through early October. That reversal followed a September marked by strong inflows into the same products.What's Next
The stablecoin data may be the most important thread to follow. A 269% year-over-year jump in daily active stablecoin addresses, alongside more than $15 billion in supply, suggests Solana is increasingly being used for moving dollars, not just trading tokens.Key Takeaways
- Whether unique active addresses hold near the 1.88 million mark
- Whether funded wallet growth continues at anything close to its 38.5% monthly pace
- Whether ETF flows flip back to positive
